Pidgin English

There is this place that I occasionally frequent. They always have live bands. Most of the bands come from Austria or Eastern Europe, so they speak German. Or some kind of version thereof. Rarely do they speak English.

But the other evening the band discovered some foreigners in the audience and started to have a halting conversation with them in English. At the same time a new customer walks in. So in the spirit the band says "Where are you from sir?". To which he replied "I'm from Switzerland". In English :)

Guess you had to be there...
